After two thumbs up from my husband and son, this recipe is a candidate for a repeat performance. Goes well with the mac and cheese in the picture, but also goes well over rice.Just two warnings. Make sure the chicken thighs are totally defrosted or the sauce will be a little watery (this does not affect the quality or the taste, just a heads up). Also, after combining the first six ingredients, it's a good idea to microwave\/heat it for just a few seconds because when the thawed OJ is added to the melted butter, the butter re-solidifies making a good stir not as complete. Other than little tweaks, this recipe is a keeper.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2010-06-24","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenScissors"},"reviewBody":"The ingedients sound wonderful!!
